I have to think $160 million or so of that is paid to the stars in the movie (Brown, Pratt, etc.) and even millions of that to the Russos.
I haven't watched the movie, but even with the effects the way I've heard they are I can't imagine the film would cost more than $125-150 million if it had cheap actors and directors.
$320 million is not sustainable for movies, and you have to imagine bonehead decisions like that gives Netflix extra incentive to raise prices higher and higher.

I don't think they have that much weight, neither the directors or the cast. It's the CGI and chasing the 90's astethic tbh, it's actually rather good, beats modern Marval by a long shot. 

At any rate, they got The Game of Thrones actors and showrunners with the Three Body Problem for 160 million. That's still a pretty steep investment but I feel that was a deserving project for 8 hours of high tier content and a safe bet. This is just beyond wasteful.
